From Starbucks to trump

Fio has a full day ahead-- first meeting with some writing friends at Starbucks (where else?), then putting in a phone call to her yard man to check on his availability, contacting  her Colorado lawyer about some property she now owns, and getting in touch with the company that fixed her leaking pipe six months ago to make sure she's up to date in her payments. She also has to drive some stray clothes she's found to The Caring Place and start on the stacks of books in Husband's office, mostly sea-faring adventures.

This will be the first time Fio's ever met with these friends altogether, although she's known each of them for several years. Interesting enough, two of the women write fiction and one writes poetry. Fiorella, of course, does both, but not as much as she'd like to.

Guess what? Fiorella has dimples, which she herself didn't realize until until one of her students mentioned them in a teacher evaluation. Fio, of course, rushed to the mirror, and there those cute indentations she's always wanted--not in her cheeks, but on the sides of her mouth.

There's nothing like going out to eat with family. Fiorella enjoyed every moment of the dinner at Fish Daddy's. There were five around the table--Fio, elder son and wife, and nephew Barrett and wife, who hosted the event. The wonder of it all was that Fiorella, who'd fallen prey to a bag of Pinwheels earlier in the afternoon and knew she shouldn't complicate matters by further transgressions, ordered the dinner portion of salmon and fries. Surprisingly, she slept like a baby all night, with not a twinge of GERD. Guessing the salmon and fries ameliorated the marshmallow and chocolate Pinwheeels.

Am reading the Trump says the doctored video of Nancy Pelosi was deserved revenge for her saying he "needed an intervention." Overkill is his specialty, but Fio is predicting that Pelosi's steadier hand will win this bout. He's not only justifying the video, but taking credit for it.
